About This Perfume

Caswell-Massey Greenbriar smells like fresh green herbs, citrus peel, cool musk. It opens with mandarin orange and neroli, moves into sage and oakmoss and settles on musk, patchouli and vetiver. It leans masculine, though anyone can wear it.

This cologne is best in spring, summer and fall and is a daytime scent. Reach for it for casual days. Released in 1984.

Wearers report that it lasts a solid half day on skin, and projects to about arm's length.

Is it right for you?

  • Best for: anyone after something fresh and uplifting for casual days.
  • Sample first if: green is new territory for you.
  • Skip if: you dislike spicy fragrances.

Around $80.

How the picks read

Caswell-Massey Almond Eau de Toilette (Eau de Toilette, 2023) comes across as salty almond cherry blossoms over creamy sandalwood; the notes run from Salt to tonka bean and sandalwood. Caswell-Massey Jockey Club (Cologne, 1840) reads as clean bergamot and green florals with powdery musk, opening on bergamot and citrus zest and drying down to musk, sandalwood and Ylang-ylang. Caswell-Massey Distiller's Lounge (2026) smells of creamy chestnut dessert with a smooth whisky glow, with Whisky up top and labdanum and vanilla underneath.
